Snowman Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hey thanks all! Really happy with the final wash-up given the conditions. Was quite pissing down for half the rally - especially on the whole last day which meant we decided on playing safe to protect 2nd place rather than having a crack at 1st at the end (Given we were on hard tyres and the guys in front and behind us were on wets). Although Uncle Fester (Beaumont) did try his best to hand us the event on Day 2 - watch out for the coverage on Chanel 9 in a few weeks for that one. But overall it was an awesome event. Doing things like 4th gear slaloms was quite a buzz Met heaps of great people over the weekend and the level of competition over in W.A. was much much higher than I probably initially thought. I know speaking to some of the guys that have done all 3 events this year said W.A. had by far the highest level of competition at the pointy end so far. But I'm expecting Vic to be even tougher and I can't wait to see how the GT-R goes. I actually think it might be a slight advantage over the EVO given the boys we were chasing had a clear stright line advantage that won't be there for them with the GT-R (e.g in the 1/8th mile drag (200m) they were nearly a whole second faster than us.) So Bring on Vic Some quick pics I've found from AHG on Saturday. Our little rocket Gav in his sweet R32 copped the same conditions as I did out there. Not easy I can tell you. In the end these boys were just too good (again) The Team Wang Subaru! Brendon also won the drivers comp outright. The Team Wang 996TT! These boys also took out the Rookie Crew Outright award. Team Wang sure did prepresent over in W.A. Thats all for now.

ferni Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Chris told me it was good practice for you getting 2nd, since you'll have to settle for 2nd again in Vic Dutton... haha well done, it's gotta be hard to keep the consistency up all weekend... even more so if it was wet.

Snowman Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It's going to be a cracker for sure. Although Chris holds on too tight and will put himself out of contention in no time. The one thing I learnt from last year is it is damn hard to win one of these things but it is really easy to lose one in a few moments of madness. So in Vic I'm sure Chris will have some great moments but eventually he'll throw it away....

Gav Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Was great to meet you again Snowy and hope to be able to steer the R with a bit more authority the next time we catch up.

Snowman Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yeah - 2.8L + twin GT-RS on Federal tyres in the pissing rain isn't my idea of fun but I never saw Gav stop smiling all weekend.

Beer Baron Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 lol, I think you've confused fast with fun snowboy. it may not be fast in the wet, but it certainly would be fun. that is if near death experience with every throttle jab is your idea of a good time! people driving evos wouldn't understand... ok maybe your right, it would be more brown pants than it would be fun.

Darkside Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey crew, thanks for all the words of encouragement and support. Looking forward to catching up in Vic. Was a tops weekend although Snowy did suck the wang a little and needed a few hugs after hitting cones, but to be honest I sucked more. Interesting that he beat me in the 8th mile sprints. Always more fun when its not your car. Looking forward to the 800's in Vic. The GTR is evil and must be punished. Hopefully its not going to be a 3....2...1...ra ra ra ra ra......Go......BANG!!! weekend. (Ask Snowy to explain... ) The R's reliability has been a bit questionable. Sending over the super reliable backup evo has been talked about. Should be a mad weekend at the end of the Month. Look out Scotsman and Newton. You know teh R34 GTR can nevar lose!!! Besides, money can't buy talent, but it can buy horsepower, and sometimes thats enough!!! Go Team Darksnow!!!

Roy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Im now thinking about it as the car is looking sorted with fresh brakes and suspension and tyres. All in the same month...so makes sense to tag Dutton onto the end. Only....hmmm.
